We reported yesterday that the stoopid Ashley Greene and the equally stoopid (but seksi) Kellan Lutz have refused to sign on to appear in the fourth Twilight crapfest Breaking Dawn because they want a raise, which we initially thought might be a reasonable request, with the amount of $$$ these movies bring in!

Well, we've learned today that if these two keep up the shenanigans, they are so getting replaced, because they're requesting $4 MILLION each to reprise their MINOR roles as Alice and Emmett Cullen!

WTF?? Are they serious?!

Sources claim that initially these two dumbasses had banded with co-stars Nikki Reed and Jackson Rathbone in their plight for a raise, but Reed appears to be the only one with any amount of logic and realized their combined 14 minutes of screentime in the movies wasn't worth that much!

She's apparently getting somewhere between $75,000 - $1 million for her part as the only sensible female character in the series, Rosalie. It's unclear if Rathbone has backed off, as well.

Whatevs. The producers have proved they have NO problem replacing actors (Rachelle LaFevre, anyone?) so we won't be surprised if one of these twits gets their ass kicked to the curb any day now!

Sorry, Twi-Hards! We know how hard it is for you when all the behind the scenes dramz compromises the integrity (ha!) of the films! LOLZ!

I think it would be a huge mess to replace these two actors. We have already gotten used to them. With the amount these movies make, I think they deserve the $$$. Whatever, like some other crappy actors deserve 12 million for their movies that make no money. At least twilight will bring in the dough

Just one more reason this file SHOULD NOT be made. The book sucked..and actually niether of them do anything for me. Greene is awful and looks nothing like Alice. Replacements are soon to come for sure. They arent going to sign when other Cullen Actord are on board for less.

I think they deserve it Kristen stewart is probably getting a shitload of money and she is a horrrriiiblllee actress. I think Greene is good on her part and Kellan is just so freakin sexy. I am not a giant twilight fan. Never read the books.

Ashley Greem is not a great actress.. in fact her acting sucks.. did anyone tell her that she was not in Stepford Wives.. she is not a robot.. she needs a little more fire and emotion.. recast them as well as Kstew… Thye should be lucky to have the job…

For those of us who read the books we know that they are not minor roles and I am very surprised to hear that they are making so little. $75,000? Are you sure you have your numbers correct?? I mean, you did type $75,000 - $1 so who the hell knows what the number is. PS- you really make a lot of errors and typos when you give information… you need to work on that.

If you are to replace either of them the series goes to hell. No matter how little they are on camera. Part of elongated series type of movies is cast consistency. Summit has made so much what is 8 million nothing give it to them and move on. I love this series but would probably not watch it if they replaced both of them. Especially Ashley Green she really makes her charterer.

stupse I am still saying cut Kristen Stewart instead I am tired of her lip sucking and poor acting……but honestly we hardly saw Alice and Emmett in New Moon and Twilight so it isn't much of a difference if they recast them. However, I am hoping that the same person that cast Kristen Stewart doesn't cast the replacing actor and actress.

As much as they make off Twilight and they won't pay them $4mil???? WTH? pay them what they want instead of ruining the very last movie. $4mil is pocket change compared to what they will make off these movies. PAY THEM!

Oh my gosh "They are not minor roles"? First of all Emmett doesn't do shit. Alice only had a big role in Eclipse. Nikki Reeds character has a bigger role in Breaking Dawn than these two and if she backed down on a bigger pay check then they should also. These two could easily be replaced. They're being greedy and need to be happy with what they're getting for their 15 minutes.

I say they need to lower their asking price and work some sort of a deal out. I would hate to see them go but I'm not going to keep my hopes up that they'll stay because they can be replaced(by who? God knows).

If they replace the actors then they are stupid. I think it was a terrible idea to replace Rachel Lefevre. The only reasons an actor should be replaced is if he or she is terrible or if he or she is dead. Period.

I read all of the books, and their roles (especially Greenes) is significant in both of the upcoming plots. With the amount of money these films are making, combined with the RIDICULOUS amount Stewart and Pattinson are making, they SHOULD demand MUCH more! True fans of the movie thought replacing Victoria was bad enough. To replace two more characters at this point REALLY will show Summit as the failure it is begging to become.

lutz has always come across as a douche bag to me. I saw him on Leno when he was promoting the last twi crap movie and he was soooooo full of himself…like the stage wasn't big enough for his ego, himself and leno, it was so embarrassing sad. As for the crappy actress who plays Alice…she's a dime a dozen. I will say that 75k -100k is a little low for a movie that has grossed that much money BUT 4 Million is just retarded stupid and makes them look like complete fools for demanding that.

well Alice does hzve a bit of a bigger role but her and Jasper are gone for the most of one of the books left, but on the other hand. 4 mil is not that much for a franchise that is making money hand over fist and if they are not getting money for the merchandise then it is not unreasonable. In addtion lets face it none of them will have a much of career after this is over. So grabbing the cash while hey can is smart in my book but getting replaced is not. I suspect they both ought to be more in touch with mgmt team

OMG! I think with the amount of $$$ Summit has brought in with this FRANCHISE, all the Cullens deserve to be paid at least a million or two considering they are integral and NOT replaceable. They have dolls made of them for cryin' out loud!!!!
All the CULLENS deserve a raise! The 3 main actors, Rob, Kristen & Jacob have received signifigant raises for each film!
Pay up Summit - you let anyone of them go the backlash will be incredible!

Honestly, Kellan can go. He's not a fabulous actor and he's not even a huge part of the story. Ashley's role is a little more relevant in the stories, but I think she can be replaced as well and the franchise will still be huge. As long as they stick with Rob, Kristen and Taylor the franchise will still be just as successful. Ashley and Kellan need to get a grip. They are not worth that much and they'll be kicked out in the streets in no time if they continue to cry about their salary.

I am serously going to stop reading this blog Perez unless you get your shit together and PROOFREAD your posts. Most of the time, I am left thinking "Wait, whaaat?" because you misspell virtually everything and make no sense. $75,000 - $1 ?? Really??

If it were any movie besides Breaking Dawn, I would say they have no right to ask for a bigger salary but all of the "Cullen kids" have bigger roles in Breaking Dawn, especially Rosalie. Considering all of the money this franchise is making, why can't they be given a bigger cut?

This may be their last chance to make a really bucket of money off of a movie…Summit just suck it up and pay them… we love these characters and have already connected with the actors who play them. Maybe if they had been paid a decent amount for the other movies they wouldn't be asking for so much now… 4 million is alot; I'll admit.. but how much is the studio looking to gain off the franchise????

like i said yesterday perez… let em go. what big whiners!! especially ashley.. has she even read the last book, she's hardly in it at all! and emmett and rosalie run off for a bit too. get off your high horses… hey summit if your listening ill play alice for free.

Ok, let's do the comparison stats here…
1. Cameron Diaz made 2.5 MILLION for lending her voice to Shrek 2. As in no acting, just voice work that took less than 10 days. The last shrek movie grossed 799 million
2. Tom Cruise gets paid about $25MILLION/movie and the last mission impossible made 397 million
3. The last Twilight movie (New Moon) grossed 478 million NOT including DVD sales. Eclipse is expected to BREAK New Moon's record and bring in close to 600 million
4. Last I checked Kellan Lutz does more than "lend his voice" to the part of Emmett. Mr Calvin Klein fabulous lends a very nicely sculpted body. Compromise with the guy and give him $3 million and let us girls have the eye candy we have been paying big money into the franchise to see.

okay wow 4 mil is a joke. But if they replace either one of them theres gonna be a fucking riot on summits hands FRONTED BY ME BITCHES.
emmet has a much bigger role in bd and I WANT KELLAN LUTZ TO DO IT!!!!!!!
EURGH

I agree with the sane people. You can't just replace them for one or two movies. Plus, think of all the money that Summit makes off of not only the movies, but all the jewelry, clothing, and even wrapping paper they make.. with their photos. It's not asking for much, in my opinion.

They are an important part of this franchise and contributed big time to the sucess of the first two films. The character of Alice which Ashley plays cannot easily be replaced and not piss off the paying public. I can't believe how cheap Summit is. They made over billion dollars so far and it only cost them 100 million to make both flicks. What, are they crazy? Pay your cast and grin and bare it. I don't think anyone could play Alice or Emmit as well as Ashley and Kalan. Don't try to fix what is not broken, the morons. Without the whole original Cullen family cast, the movie won't be worth a fuck. I say pay up Summit.

haha I love this article. and hell if they can find someone who will apply Alice right,not stupid and ditzy, that would be great. Why ask for more money if dont really appear in the movie but for 2 seconds?

oh, come on. i love them but they need to get over themselves. you guys keep saying alice doesnt have a minor role in bd, well she doesnt in the books. and the movies hardly follow the books… soo i think 4mill is asking WAY too much.

Twilight is retarded in the first place. Only the mentally insane or little tweens care about those movies/books/actors/makeup/etc.
Having said that, though, if I were in a sh*tty movie series like that, and one that does ridiculously well at the box office, then I'd be demanding more, too.
Also, you can't replace Alice, she's the best character in that damn movie!!! Victoria was a character that could be replaced, Alice is a main attraction, a reason a lotta people watch the movie, and people would be outraged if she was replaced!
I say, they should just pay the damn actors the $4 million!

first of all i can tell you idiots that think they dont have major roles, especially alice, in breaking dawn havent read the books…shes one of the main characters…shes Bella's best friend…she has the biggest role in breaking dawn. and ifi they change 2 major characters it will kill the last movie. Fans were pissed that Rachel LaFevre was replaced imagine what they would think if Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene were replaced.

they CANNOT be replaced!!
i will be so upset if this happens, they are perfect for their parts and no one else will be able to fill the role! it just won't be the same if they go
kellan & ashley need to stay!!

Re: getbentex – Are you kiding? She's a really awkward actor, especially in New Moon. Considering she's only on screen for 5 minutes in each movie, thats an incredible waste of money if she's all you're going to see.
And on a different note, why would they pay either of them 4 million when Ashley's character is gone for 1/2 the movie and Emmett, let's be honest, does nothing in any of the books.

That's crazy… they only have a few lines each. Dakota Fanning is a HUGE star and she probably didn't make that much on the film. I agree that they should reap some of the benefits.. but 4 million for a few lines… who the fuck are they.. Brando????

replacing characters sucks. i like these two, but their demands are ridiculous! emmet had like 2 sentences in the first movie…was he even speaking in the second one? alice should get more money since she has a bigger role (in the books at least). by the way how much do robert and kirsten get?

I pray to god, Ashley or Kellan dont get booted out of BD. Emmett's the funny and Alice is the brain's. They are both great actor's, i think sumitt should pay the salary they are asking for cos if they are getting payed what nikki reed is then, thats terrible. Alice and Emmett are major parts in BD. Its not like sumitt cant afford it. Jesus. I'll be pretty pissed as well as other twisaga fans will be if either of the two are fired.

Re: getbentex – exactly, ashley is the only decent actress in the whole movie and if she wants more money they should just give it to her. how much does stewart get for her shiteous performance of lip biting??

I haven't read the books, so I don't know how much their parts play into the next movies. But 4 million for these relative newbies is way too much to pay. Salaries in Hollywood are ridiculously overpaid. Here I sit (albeit on my lunch hour), making my $19CAD per hour working my ASS OFF - and they're getting millions to PLAY a movie role. Big fucking deal! If everyone scaled back to reasonable requests, what a difference it would make worldwide. People would actually be able to afford to go to movies if theatres didn't need to recoup the cost of making the movie and paying these ridiculous salaries for these no-named actors. Oh gawd, don't get me started on another rant about movies and how overpriced this whole shitbox is. FUCK! I'm lucky I can afford to buy groceries after my student loans are paid, and I pay my other utility bills (which also keep going up). Why don't I get a raise everytime cost of living increases??? I just keep getting closer and closer to the poverty line. And Kellan & Ashley are demanding 4M paychecks for a few months work. Fuck 'em. HIRE ME!! I'll do both roles for $500,000!!! That would cover all my bills and still leave me with plenty leftover to cover my ass for years!! Greedy actors. Fuck ya's all. Go suck a dick.

I think they shoudn't be replaced, it was bad when they replaced Rachelle. And I think that they should all be making good $$$ because this saga makes really good $$. But $4Million each? Come on they want to make more cash for their roles than they really deserve…
